What’s Psychology?
Body
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and geste
. Psychologists are laboriously involved in studying and understanding internal processes, brain functions, and geste
. The field of psychology is considered a” Hub Science” with strong connections to the medical lores, social lores, and education( Boyack, Klavans, & Borner, 2005).
At Ohio State, the Department of Psychology is organized into eight areas, working to probe critical aspects of the brain and mortal geste
.
Behavioral Neuroscience
Factors impacting malleability of brain and geste
through development and into majority
Hippocampal biology and function
Stress and the brain
Neurogenesis and brain malleability across the life span
coitus- related differences in brain function
Endocrine and vulnerable regulation of brain and geste
The neurobiology of cognitive control
Clinical Psychology
The treatment of mood and personality diseases using cognitive behavioral curatives
Biobehavioral responses to cancer opinion and treatment
Testing and dispersion of cerebral treatments for cancer cases
Cerebral and behavioral adaption to habitual health problems
Goods of exercise on cerebral and cognitive functioning
Neuroplasticity in healthy aging and neurological diseases
awareness and cognitive functioning in aged grown-ups
Cognitive Psychology
Experimental, brain imaging, and model- grounded approaches to perception, memory, decision timber, action, and language
Modeling decision processing in memory, perception, numeracy.
How our visual systems produce our stable perception of the world
Neuroimaging( fMRI) studies examining how we value and choose effects
The creation of biologically presumptive network models of mortal cognition
How we control our attention in complex tasks
How the audile system solves the challenges of understanding spoken language
Decision wisdom
How cognitive, affective, and social processes impact judgment and choice
How numeracy( numeric capability) affects real- world opinions
How the brain represents private values and beliefs
The part of stations in numeric judgment and choice
How to ameliorate tone- control
How information is interpreted and integrated in decision making
Modeling decision making in aging and cognitive decline
Experimental Psychology
literacy and experimental change in cognition, geste
, and the brain
Inheritable and environmental influences on brain and geste
Development of memory, categorization, and logic
Development of numerical cognition and fine thinking
How children learn language and use it to understand their world
How children grow beyond the superficial in their social and moral understanding How children grow beyond the superficial in their social and moral understanding
Intellectual and Experimental Disabilities
How to ameliorate health and well- being in children and grown-ups with intellectual disabilities, autism diapason diseases, and other neurodevelopmental diseases
How to stylish support family members of people with disabilities
How to impact the outgrowth and course of intellectual disability, autism diapason complaint, and related neurodevelopmental diseases
How to develop cerebral instruments that measure core and associated features of intellectual disability, autism diapason complaint, and other neurodevelopmental diseases
How to treat geste
and emotional problems in children and grown-ups who have intellectual disability, autism diapason complaint, and related neurodevelopmental diseases
Quantitative Psychology
Developing, assessing and applying new quantitative styles for the analysis of cerebral data
The operation of statistical models to real world problems
Bayesean models of mortal cognition
Social Psychology
Automatic and deliberative stations Influences on information processing, judgment, and geste
Adding women’s participation in STEM disciplines
How provocations in social relations shape connections, beliefs, well- being, and health
What motivates social geste
goods of the vulnerable system and commonanti-inflammatory medicines(e.g. Tylenol) on feelings, opinions, and social geste
How similarity in brain exertion across people underlies similarity in studies, stations and beliefs
